Yes, Aragorn's son, Eldarion, had a long life for a mortal man, living to be around 125 years old (from F.A. 43 to F.A. 168) and ruling for about 100 years after his father, retaining a youthful appearance until age 60, but he remained mortal, unlike the immortal Elves. While not as long as some legendary Númenóreans (like Elros), it was a respectable age for a Fourth Age Man, showcasing his Númenórean heritage and Elven blood through Arwen.
The reason why Eldarion and his sisters (the children of Aragorn and Arwen) were born mortal was because Arwen chose mortality and therefore that fate was passed on to the rest of their line.
In NoME, while Aragorn chose to relinquish life at the age of 210, Eldarion embraces death at only 125.
In the year 121 of the Fourth Age, after Aragorn's death, Arwen died of a broken heart at Cerin Amroth in Lórien, and was buried there one year after the death of Aragorn, to whom she had been wedded for 122 years. She was 2901 years old.
Tolkien stated Eldarion lived to be 125 (and retained a youthful appearance until 60).
While the date of Legolas's birth is unknown, he was likely born sometime after his grandfather was killed and his father took over the rule of the Woodland Realm. Like all Elves, Legolas is immortal. Elves do not die by natural causes; however, they can be killed in battle.
IIRC Cirdan is the oldest known elf. It's possible (though unlikely) that he might have not been the oldest elf of his people despite being their leader.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
They build "great works" in Rohan and Gondor, and replace the ruined gate of Minas Tirith with one made of mithril and steel. After Aragorn's death, Gimli (then 262 years old) sails with Legolas into the West, becoming the first Dwarf in the Undying Lands.
And after Aragorn's death, Legolas built a ship in Ithilien and sailed down the Anduin River, passing beyond the sea. It's said that Gimli joined him on that journey. With their departure, the tale of the Fellowship of the Ring came to an end. Some say the two had many adventures together in the Undying Lands.
Eldarion was born in the first year of the Fourth Age. and became second King of the Reunited Kingdom after the death of his father in FO 120. He was considered a third generation Half-elf, having a slow maturity and long youth like true Elves, while not inheriting the choice of becoming immortal.
After its conclusion, many Northmen emigrated to Gondor, and that is how Gondor's blood became "mingled". (LOTR Appendix A) So yes, Aragorn's blood can be considered "purer Númenorean".
It's not the years; it's the mileage. Gandalf isn't a Maia in the same way Sauron is. He was sent to middle earth as an old man, so his body is much more real than Sauron's “raiment”. He can't use his power to the same extent, he can't change his forms at will.
Legolas's people are a blend of Silvan and Sindar Elves. His grandfather, Oropher, was a refugee from the great Elven city of Doriath, which was destroyed in the terrible battle with Morgoth at the end of the First Age.
After Faramir's death at the age of 120, his son succeeds him.
They were great friends and traveled together. Yes, Legolas showed up in the undying lands with his emotional support Dwarf . No, there was never anything romantic about it. Tolkien never thought romance had to be part of a deep friendship, so he didn't feel the need to call out when they weren't romantic.
Arwen married Aragorn in the year 3019 of the Third Age, when he was 88 years old and she was 2,778 years old. The last year of the Third Age was 3021. Aragorn ruled until the year 120 of the Fourth Age, when he was 210 years old.
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder of Frodo Baggins
J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings accurately portrayed the signs and symptoms of what is currently labeled Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Frodo's condition logically follows his experiences of less than a year in the War of the Ring.
Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, made the decision to cut Tom Bombadil's character from the movies, primarily for narrative reasons. According to Jackson, Bombadil's scenes in the book, while intriguing, did not significantly advance the main plot of the story.
Literature's greatest villain and by far the most well-known in The Lord of the Rings, Sauron was actually following in the footsteps of an evil that may have been greater than him.
Everyone is going to have a different answer but, for elves, I assume this: The human equivalent is x5 up to 'mid-twenties' bracket. So, a '16yo' is 80 years while a '24yo' is 120 years. After that, the aging process essentially stops.
Originally the three Keepers were Gil-galad, Galadriel, and Círdan. Gil-galad gave his Ring to Elrond and Círdan gave his to Gandalf. At the end of the Third Age, when the Rings finally lost their power and were taken into the West, the Keepers were Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf.
Puberty and full height are attained at around their fiftieth to one hundredth year, when they stop aging physically. Elves marry freely, monogamously, only once, and for love early in life; adultery is unthinkable.
